After the success of the Chromecast, upon popular request Google has announced ““Google Cast for audio,” which will work similarly to Chromecast but with audio devices like speakers, sound bars and receivers.

The excitement sparked by the announcement simmered down when users asked if Spotify will support Google Cast. The answer was disappointing to fans, as the service reportedly said that they will not be supporting Google Cast anytime soon.

The music streaming company said that they will instead focus on their own “Spotify Connect” service. Spotify has invested in their own service which already beholds a large collection of supported devices.

Spotify has since back-pedalled on their original statement and say that while they won’t support Google Cast, plans on support for Chromecast isn’t off the table either.

The last statement by Spotify is as below:
“Our recent statement around Google Cast for audio should not be confused with our position on the Chromecast device. Our goal has always been to bring listeners the right music for every moment, making it easily accessible whenever and wherever they might be.

This means that in order to keep improving Spotify, we’re continuously exploring new and better ways of listening, which may include Chromecast as well as other platforms and devices.”
